The extremely fragmented state of the head documents the destructive vehemence of the Jewish revolt from AD 115-117. It was reassembled from more than a hundred fragments. There is an almost absolute correspondence of the great seated statue of Olympian Zeus, both in size and in the shape of the base on which he sat, between the temple of Cyrene and that of Olympia. It is, therefore, a replica of Pheidias' masterpiece, as seems to be confirmed by the inscription with which the architect Aurelius Rufus, to whom the restoration is perhaps to be attributed, recalls having fulfilled his vow to Zeus Olympius.

The temple, of Doric order, has a peristasis of eight columns on the façade and seventeen on the sides, resting on a crepidome of three steps. For its size, larger than the Peloponnesian Olympieion and almost identical to that of the Parthenon, the temple is the largest of those erected not only in Cyrene, but in the whole of Greek Africa. The columns are formed of novi rocchi, and have different base diameters on each of the half-sections. This peculiarity serves to ensure a harmonious view of the façades. The cella is three times as long as the width of the front (18.32 m x 53.19 m); it has a distil pronaos and wings facing inwards, a naos divided into three naves by two rows of columns and an opisthodomos open to the outside with three columns in antis. A Doric frieze runs along the entire perimeter. The earthquake of 365 AD caused the building to collapse.
